We had conducted an experiment to determine whether plants really needed water and sunlight to grow. We used small Ziplock baggies, some with wet and some with dry cotton balls and three bean seeds in each bag. They were awed to see the seeds that were placed in the baggies with wet cotton balls and placed in the sunlight sprout and grow to the rim of the baggies and bear dark green leaves. Similarly, the seeds with wet cotton balls that were placed in the dark cupboard sprouted long pale, whitish roots, but no green was found on them. Needless to say, the seeds with dry cotton balls did not sprout. My students were very excited to see the results from their experiment and they wanted to transplant the plant shoots from the baggies to the soil in jars. They were disappointed however, when the tender plants eventually withered and died as the cold, rainy season set in. However, with their new terrariums, they will have the opportunity to see plants thrive in soil regardless of the weather. They were super excited about this.\r\nMy students also had lots of fun placing the internal organs into the see-through human body model while they were learning about the human body in our last science unit. They were also able to view several body systems using the special viewer that came with the kit. This greatly enhanced their learning as we studied the skeletal, the muscular, the nervous, the circulatory, and the digestive systems.\r\nStudents also loved discovering the answers to questions about birds, insects, and animals by placing the question card into the device containing magnetic sand and having the answer revealed pictorially. We made use of the balance scale to prove that air is matter because it occupies space and has weight when we compared the weight of a blown up ballon to that of a deflated one.\r\nIn the near future, Grade 2 will begin the study of the solar system. The pop-up model of the planets in our galaxy, along with the science viewer with its visuals are sure to enhance the study of this unit. The hands-on model will ameliorate their learning of the names of the planets, their sizes, their distances from the sun and their relationship to the earth. The science viewer will help to seal pertinent and interesting facts into their memories by means of visual learning.\r\nAltogether, your giving to our project has made learning science so much fun for my class. My kids are so excited to be using the materials we got from your generous donations. We can't thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1759191191201,"projectUrl":"project/science-is-cool-making-science-come-al/9762362/","projectTitle":"Science Is Cool!
